No Taxation without Direct Partioipa-
ton in Its Benefits.

A communication was received yesterday
ty the District commissioners calling their
attention to the fact that the Citizens
Committee OF One Hundred had not asked
for the expenditure OF one dollar for su-
burban improvements. The obvious re-
suits Of liberal expenditure on the out
skirts Of the city were clearly pointed out
and the commissioners were requested to
do what was equitable In the case. The
letter concludes as follows:
No one can 1eprecate more than we do, slrs.
the uDgenerous rivalries apparently possessing
many parties who are interested In different
parts Of the city and suburbs, but we believe
1t can be truthiully said of the county gener-
ally that Its record Is clear In this particular.
As proof Of this, not one dissenting voice was
raise from the north, northwest, or west last
winter when 1t was proposed to spend over
500 900 for the Eastern branch, and 1t Is said
that the Oldest citizen does not remember q
time when the county people did not pay their
taxes, without grumbliDg about the manner In
which their money for nearly century has
been spent In the improvement aud adorn-
ment OF the city. IL is respectfully submitted,
pecled TO quietly suffer themselves to be
loaded with great appropriations on values
which, save those that have indirectly accrued
from the growth Of the city, have been ,practi-
oally created by their own money and enter
prize, unless their needs are to receive an hOu-
est and fair share OF recognition from the gov
ernment. III taxation without representation
is odious, what can be said of taxation with
out direct participation In it, benefits? In con.
clusion, II has been said that considerable
part of this section is in the hands of and un-
der the control of 'foreign cap
itelists and speculators." For ar
guments sake concede that TO bo true, and
what then? As to the cry OF "speeulators," is
II not as inconsistent as 1t Is childish Are
they OF any different or more obnoxious vari-
ETY. than those who have bought up, IN the
hope OF profit. oil the vacant lands In the city,
and especially in the so.caled NEGLECTED
portions OF Capitol Hill As to "ou side
capitalists," they. have paid value, and full
value for their holdings, and their capital.
now located here, can no longer be called
"foreiRn," II IL may be deemed loss desirable
on that account. Besides, is IL not n fact, that
Washington largely owes Its phenomenal
growth to "ourside capitalists who have Gov
cred the city with superb residences aud pub
lie buildings, and whose money and enterprise
are at the foundation of its prosperity. Are
the wheels of progress to stop, and the ma
iorlty of the taxpayers and the public conven
ience to suffer b, cause q few OF those who have
invested their money and courage IN this III
rection should happen to incidentally reap the
legitimate results OF their enterpriseH

TEMPERANCE IN TENLEy TOWN.
Grand Lodge Officers vIsit silver star
Lodge OF Good TempIars.

The officers Of the Grand Lodge responded
very generally to the call Of Grand Chief
Whitney Thursday evening to visit Silver
Star Lodge at Tenleytown, though the sky
was dark and lowering. Brother Paxton's
extra stage carried them there from George
town In good season, where, after the con-
clusion Of routine business, the visitors
were formally received aud invited to the
chairs of the respective officers by Chief
Templar Earnest. The Grand Lodge Off.
GERS made brief reports and then the good
OF the ord r was entered upon, Grand Chief
Z. n. Whitney presiding. In the remarks
offered pronounced spirit OF loyalty to
their respective lodges and promise that
''ours shall be the banner lodge" at the
close Of the year were conspicuously pres
ent as each speaker took the floor.
Clements Lodge was championed by
Grand Vice Templar Sister Martin and
Acting Past Grand Chief Brother Hodges;
d. 2. Holloway Lodge found earnest advo-
Gates in acting Grand Counsellor DR.. Bond
and Grand Deputy Marshal Annie E. Bond;
Star Of Hope Lodge was well bespoken by
Grand Marshal w. w. Money and Grand
Guard Sister Money; Morning Star Lodge
Brother McDaniels, and Perseverance Lodge
was well represented by Grand Chaplain
j. G. Lee, who also gave an interesting &C
count OF temperance affairs In Anacostia.
Grand Secretary Dony made an encouraging
exhibit OF the affairs OF his Office, as did also
Grand Superintendent Russell, OF the Ju.
venile Temples. Silver Star Lodge was
well mentioned by Chief Templar Earnest
and Past Chief Shoemaker. Grand Chief
Whitney made the closing address, replete
with wise suggestions and agreeable fore
casts.
Informal consideration was given to the
"broad denial" by Mr.. Willett in the RE-
PUBLICAN Of Thursday morning to the
statement In paragraph in "Tenleytown
News" Of the Tuesday previous, which
claesed Mr.. w. among saloon keepers. Mr..
Willett claimed to keep respectable
grocery" aud 1t was agreed that respecta
bility was gauged by different standards
and that the Good Templars' standard and
that of Mr.. Willett's were essentially diff
ferent.

Tho first two or three doses tell the story.
The skin bee ,mes clear; the eye bright; the

EVERYBODY SURPRISED .
THAT THE wAsHINGTONs SHOULD
wHITEwASH TIE NEW YoRKs.
Both Teams Play an Erroriess Game
Twenty Men Strike Out-The Home
Team Presents New short stop-In-
terestiDg Racing Events.

There was very small attendance yes
terday to witness tho game between the
Washingtons and New York clubs, but
those present were amply repaid for their
visit to Capitol Park. The contest was un-
doubtedly pitchers game, and conse-
quently rather slow and dragging to the
lovers OF the national pastime who admire
batting exhibition. Whitney and Keefe
were the opposing twirlers, and both OF
them were in fine form Only three actual
base hits were made off Of the two, while
each pitcher struck out ten men. The
game was not only remarkable for fine
pitching but also for superior handling OF
the ball, as not fielding error was made,
the only misplays being wild pitch by
Keefe, and pass bail by Mack, neither Of
Of which amounted to anything, and did
not participate In the total result.
The New Workers came upon the field
with the confident air Of being victors, but
how grievously they were mistaken, the
score of to IN the Washingtons' favor
shows; and after the contest was ended a
more sad and down-hearted set of ball play
ers is seldom seen. The Washingtons not
only signaliZed their return home after a
IenRlny bubtUCe ny winning game, DuJ
also by presenting new player on the
nine, who aided materially In securing the
home clubs victory. This follower Of the
diamond field is known as John Irwin,
brother of Arthur Irwin, Of the Philadel-
phias, and gave sufficient evidence yester-
day OF being decided acquisition to the
Senator'S ranks. He flelded his position at
short stop in great style, besides bringing
in the only run scored on his tgo-bagger
| to left field. Irwin is not a new man to
the Washington public, as the patrons of
the game at the old Capitol Park well re-
member his skill at third base while being
member Of the Boston Unions In
| 1854, which reputation he has since
greatly improved by his excellont work on
this seasons Newark club, OF the Eastern
League. Outside OF Irwin, Donnelly
played very brilliant game, but hereafter
should be more careful and not run into
other players territory, as was the case yes
terday, when he prevented Irwin from
handling an easy grounder. The New
Yorkers fought hard for victory, and had
men on bases several times, but, despite
their utmost endelvors, they could not ge,
man across the plate. Up TO the first
half Of the eighth inning neither side had
scored run, but at this point tho Wash.
ingtons won the game. Mack, the frs,
striker, led of with base hit, stole second
ran to third on Donnelly's put out at first
| end scored on Irwin's hit for two bases
| The same clubs play to- day, when the game
will be called at $3.50 o'clock. The score:

"Republican's" Renders.
1t Is stated that Jno. b. Smoot, the pres
ent mayor of the city, will in all probability
be the choice of the convention to be held
on the Sth proximo to select candidate for
the legislature, provided he will express his
willingness to accept. Mr.. Smoot was elected
mayor by 800 majority over the combined
forces of the Republicans and independents,
and now that 1t is known he is an advocate
of the Mount Vernon avenue it is thought
he could be elected without trouble to the
legislature.
Mr.. Walton, of Fairfax county, who is
member OF the executive committee OF the
Mount Vernon Avenue Association, is one
of the warmest supporters Of the project,
and one OF the most energetic workers.
He says that the opening OF the avenue
means the beginning Of better times, a
better and quicker sale of farm lands,
quick and easy transportation by vehicle,
an increased value Of real property, and
general benefit to all. He sees no reason
why the scheme should not succeed and
succeed at once. City Treasurer Harlow
was yesterday waited upon by a acommittee,
and urged to allow his name to be presented
in the convention on the Sth as candidate
for the legislature. After thanking the
committee, he positively declined to allow
his name to be used under any circum-
stances.

New YORK, Sept. s0.--The stock market
to-day was quiet, especially during the
forenoon, but was firm to strong through
out, with decided increase 10 the business
done later In the day. The low prices from
London were a depressing influence at the
opening, but good buying quickly dissl-
pated It's effects. The buying was for both
sides Of the account, and was stimulated
by the dividends on New York Central and
Lackawanna and tho bulllsh utterances OF
several influential capitalists.
The opening was weak at declines OF from
4 to 2 per cent. from yesterdays final
figures, and business was dull except for
Reading, New England, Richmond aud
West Point, Missouri Pacific, aud st. Paul.
Prices soon began to advance, however, aud

came extremely dull, with very narrow
fluctuations, but firm tone generally un-

ment gained force, and the close was made
at the top figures, though quiet.
